Igor ; The not so 23 party!

It has been a little while since last we gather at this venue. And so, as my brain is so often speradic, let me review the past few "events..."

About a month back or so, our friend and former "guest/roommate" Igor, returned to Texas after spending the summer back home in Ukraine! It was a special time catching up, and seeing his pictures from his time over there! And, so with no further delay, at last, I present to you in 1,000 words or more Igor:

Okay, so that's the abriged version, but I trust that will suffice for now!


On to other things. This past weekend, marked the end of another year for me in my life and also transitioned into another. 23!
It was a hectic week with school and work, but the highlight for me was looking forward to having Friday off to celebrate my birthday with family and friends! It had been a tiring week (yes, I am intentionly being redundant for emphasis sake!)! When I got home Friday morning from school, I had a brief lunch, and then took a nap! Of course I had it all planned out: I was going down for a good two hours or so, with the plan of awaking with an hour of extra time for traveling and other random stuff!
It was to my great surprise, when I got a call from my uncle, asking what time I was planning on coming. I replied: "around 5:30." "Well, it's about quarter after 6 now!" Needless to say, I was quite shocked and embarrassed! Much of my Texas family were unable to come and those who could had a limited window of time! So, by the time I arrived there with my roomate, it was nearly 7:30! I was glad to see all those who had made it, yet we had to rush to the gifts so that everyone could leave! (Ah, the delight!)
This year proved to be a special birthday for me, in addition to all the other fun thus far, as many of you may recall the joy of getting my guitar stolen on the way to Knoxville (refer to earlier blog entry!) Well, my dear roommate, had put together a last minute plan: he sent out a massive email to some of my family and friends to see who was interested in going in a getting a guitar for me. And well, the rest is history! But, I must say a very GREAT THANK YOU, to all that played a part in this effort! It certainly made for a very special and memorable birthday, for which I a most greatful to all of you: both those who made it and were unable to attend!


Following the belated party/dinner, my roommate and I headed off to Gingerman (a splended Bar out here - a true beer snob favorite!) to celebrate with some friends! That too, though somewhat impromptu was a special time! And so, I thank you all for a special 23rd birthday!
All to often inadequate yet, more appreciative for the lack therein,

"GUYS!!!" She Cried!

Well, let me see, it has been many weeks since I was last on here, but first a story!

So, this would have been a few weeks back, when I was on my AT (refer to former entry for info regarding such things!) and my roommate called me up and told me about this new dance club he had joined up at SMU!

All I needed to know, was that there were lot of gals there, and they were in desperate need of guys! (So I was told!)

And so, after I returned from my AT, I was anxious to see this dance club for myself! So, that following week, I attended! Only, to be pleasantly surprised, and quite startled upon our tardy arrival, to here the words: "GUYS!!! come from the lips of a female dance instructor! All, I knew was, that whatever I had done to warp into such an enviroment was sheer genious, but I was certainly going nowhere soon! I had found my oasis!

And, so I continue to learn more and more dance techniques each week! Thus far, we have covered: Cha Cha, and Waltz. But, this is only the begining as we are scheduled to begin Salsa and Foxtrot next!

And so, I must say, I can't stop dancing! It's fabulous!

For those is are interested, you will have to check it out: Saturdays 1pm-4pm at the SMU Dedmen Athletics building across from the Mustang Stadium!

All to easily entertained,
